Domaine de L'Ile is the newest property in the portfolio of wine estates owned by Chanel, a portfolio that also includes Châteaux Rauzan-Ségla, Canon and Berliquet in Bordeaux, and St Supery in Napa Valley. The vineyards are on Porquerolles, the largest of the three Iles d'Hyères, off the coast of Provence, and there's a marked maritime influence to the wines, which had their first vintage in 2019. This rosé is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre and 5% Tibouren, a grape which gives purity and primary cherry fruit flavours – in future vintages the proportion of Tibouren will increase, with Syrah decreasing. The 2022 vintage was a fairly hot vintage, and this rosé is deeper in colour than some other Provence rosés. But it's as fresh as a daisy, with gorgeous cherry, redcurrant and watermelon fruit flavours, some warm white peach notes and a faint hint of menthol. Supple and medium bodied with a hint of salinity on the finish, this would be delicious served with shellfish, or alone.
